In a surprising turn of events, the Black Stars of Ghana faced a shocking defeat against Comoros on matchday two of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday, November 21.
The Coelacanths secured all three points at home, positioning themselves at the top of Group I after triumphing over the Central African Republic in their opening game.
The match had moments of promise for Ghana, with Antoine Semenyo missing a chance to take the lead early on, and Jordan Ayew's header narrowly missing the Comoros post.
However, Myziane Maolida's solo run and subsequent goal in the 43rd minute provided Comoros with a crucial advantage heading into halftime.
Despite a second-half lineup change by coach Chris Hughton, introducing Mohammed Kudus for Andre Ayew, Ghana struggled to find the back of the net.
Attempts from Semenyo, Inaki Williams, and substitute Majeed Ashimeru were unsuccessful in equalizing the score.
Inaki Williams had a late opportunity from an Abdul Fatawu Issahaku cross, but his header failed to trouble the goalkeeper.
Despite a late effort to secure an equalizer, the Black Stars could not overcome Comoros, resulting in a defeat.
The victory propels Comoros to the top of Group I with two wins in two games, while Ghana remains on three points.
